This month, government figures revealed tree clearing had almost doubled to 296,000 hectares of land every year since the LNP's changes.

LNP and Katters Australian Party (KAP) members argue Labor's bill will stifle agricultural activity and have criticised the government for demonising farmers.

Dr Miles also hit back at suggestions the satellite mapping used to show clearing was unreliable, saying while there had been inaccuracies in the past, the state's herbarium now used maps that updated every 14 to 16 days.

"That mapping is getting more and more accurate," he said.

KAP MPs, who will on Monday speak with independent Cook MP Billy Gordon, vowed to fight the changes.

"We are doing everything in our power to take a stand against the government's draconian laws," Mt Isa MP Rob Katter said.

Fellow KAP member Shane Knuth said opposing the changes was of "extreme importance".

"These laws will completely shackle development, kill jobs, and make criminals out of our primary producers," he said.
